Xander wearing his bus pass for his first time riding the bus today. He had to have it so the bus driver could get to know him and his pick up and drop off spots. This is in our front yard on September 15, 2010.
Emily and Xander-first day riding the bus. She wanted to be in the pics too!September 15, 2010.
Xander out on the street just as the bus is about here to pick him up. September 15, 2010.
Xander getting on the bus for school for the first time. He was so excited!!Septemeber 15, 2010.
Just closed the door after he got on and was about to pull away. Have to admit I was having a hard time by this point! :) September 15, 2010.
The bus pulling away. September 15, 2010. It was really hard to watch my baby getting on a big ol' school bus and riding away from me! I was totally having a hard time. Didn't help that Emy was crying about missing her brother and wanting him to come back. She liked it even less than I did! :) She cried all the way home-which wasn't far--and for a while after he left. Finally distracted her by asking if she wanted to go for a ride, too. She took me up on it and finally settled down. Although for the first couple weeks, she made me turn right out of our street since that is the way the bus would go. I would get into trouble if I turned the wrong way! :) She cried everyday for the first couple weeks after he would get on the bus. So sad and so cute at the same time! :)
Bus just pulled up and waiting for Xander to get off. This was his 2nd or 3rd day riding the bus, but the first time I could get pictures cause of the crazy rain the first couple days.
